On July the 15th Agency Rush and Crush Creative hosted an exciting evening, held at another superb venue – Patterns club and bar on Brighton’s sunny seafront. The event was jam-packed with amazing creatives from all traits and we all had a blast.

Here's the re-cap!

On the night we heard from...

- Mr. Bingo The original Shoreditch beat busker and 'Master of Pens' will be taking to the stage and “talking out of his own mouth”. The illustrator’s mischievous character is mirrored in his work and over the years he’s worked with The Mighty Boosh, QI, Jimmy Carr and MTV - quite an impressive portfolio to say the least! Since speaking at our first ever Glug Brighton event back in 2009 Bingo’s come a long way so come hear his tales of Rap fame, ‘Hate Mail’ and drawing stuff!

- Animade The forward-thinking and boundary-smashing animation studio are a seventeen strong team who get things moving for games, stings and whole host of digital projects for the likes of Google, BBC, Red Bull, Air BnB and Ray Ban. Don’t worry not all 17 of them will be trying to hog the mike!

- Danielle Pender The founder and editor of Riposte - a smart magazine for women that features a cast of brilliant and bold women. Featured by the likes of It's Nice That, New York Times, The Guardian and Cool Hunting Riposte is sold world-wide, even in Danielle's home town of Newcastle!

Interacted with some treats upstairs...

Tweets for Treats Tweets for Treats is a tweet powered vintage sweets dispenser - the clue’s in the name!

The Private Press The fantastic local screen-printing company teamed up with well known illustrators Adam Howling and Sean Sims and brought you some exclusive limited edition prints designed specially for the event. There was a free print for everyone on the night and the best part is you had the option to approach the press and print it yourself!
